Remember the Waffle House wedding? How about the McDonald’s wedding? Now we have the Taco Bell wedding to go with it. Paul and Caragh Brooks said their vows and then partied down at Normal, Illinois Taco Bell where they apparently spent a lot of time hanging out.
The deets: The entire shindig cost about $200, with Caragh’s hot pink dress eating a mere $15 of the total. A friend who bought one of those easy online ordinations conducted the wedding ceremony when it turned out city hall was all booked up for the day. Wedding guests ordered food off of the regular menu. The groom’s mother, Kathy Brooks, had this to say: “This is the way to go – there’s no stress.”
I LOVE it, absolutely. Caragh and Paul obviously know what they like and what they like is Taco Bell and low-key fun. They planned and enjoyed the wedding they wanted, or as they say in the fast food industry, they “had it their way.” What say you? Love it? Hate it? If you’re not sure, there’s a short video of the couple on their wedding day below the cut.
Now I want a chalupa…
He he he Normal, Il. We pass it everytime we’re out to Chicago and it entertains us each time.
Though my favorite is by far Former, Il. I think someone was having too much fun in naming towns that day.
As for the Taco Bell wedding, eh they had a reason for it as city hall was booked up so it seems almost like they just picked a place they like that’s warm. I’m sure some people will use the dreaded T word a lot but they seemed to have a lot of fun.
And you get free refills so you know it had to be an open bar. 😉
A Taco Bell wedding isn’t exactly my cup of tea, but I think this couple is too cute and it looks like all their friends and family are supportive and had a good time. I think it’s difficult to hate on someone who loved their wedding as much as it looks like these two did.
Fashion note: Her hot pink dress is absolutely smoking hot and I love that his tie matches. Too cute.
If we thought we could get away with it (because of the number of people who want to be there makes it prohibitive), we would SO get married at Taco Cabana. (Chain mexican food here in Texas)
I’m guessing they picked up the tab for what their guests ordered, right? After all, with a $15.00 wedding dress, no officient’s fee, and no decor, pretty much the whole budget could go to feeding the masses.
As long as they picked up the tab for their guests (and hopefully warned the management of their impending arrival), I’m down with it. Not my personal cuppa, but I’m heartily in favor of couples choosing to do things in a way that makes them happy and fits into their budgets.
Oh, and casablancabride, I’m absolutely with you about their wardrobe choices! They both look wonderful.
More power to ’em!
